    What's the story

    The 2024 Paris Olympics witnessed arguably the most grueling 10,000m track race in the history of the multi-sport competition.

    In an incredible men's final, Joshua Cheptegei of Uganda emerged victorious at the Stade de France.

    Notably, the first 13 finishers all came in under the previous Olympic record.

    Here we decode the fastest sprinter to complete the 10,000m race at the Olympics.

    Joshua Cheptegei - 26:43.14 minutes

    Cheptegei was gutted after settling for the silver in the 2020 Tokyo Games.

    The Uganda star went one step ahead this time and claimed the gold.

    The three-time world champion and world record holder timed an Olympic record of 26min 43.14sec for victory.

    The previous best (27:07.17) was set by Ethiopian great Kenenisa Bekele at the 2008 Beijing Games.
